When he saw Yuto rushing in, Doberk gave a heartfelt, happy smile.
　Just now, Julian received a strong blow and O'Sullivan received a deep hand, not even meaning that O'Sullivan received a deep hand. Of course, it was as if there was no wound on his own face.

''Ha!　You're good, kid. This one's going to burn. I was going to look for that old guy from earlier, but you look good too!

　Doberk also stepped forward and happily intercepted Yuto.
　When Yuto cleaved Tohaku into a horizontal flash, he caught it with a Darn Slave. Then the Darn Slave vibrates and emits a devastating aura, as if it wants the blood of the enemy.

'My sword is raging. I want your blood, I want it, and it looks like I can't get enough!

　Doberg said, "Nun! He pushed back Yuto with force and lightly swung the large sword from top to bottom.
　Yuto avoided a direct hit while taunting the heavy blow by the great sword with his posture and narrowed his eyes to observe the movement.

(This........is a swordsman's movement. Unlike the other two, it's not my style. And this guy's sword...)

There you go!

　When Doberk swings a large sword that has a longer reach than a posture white to check Yuto's counterattack, Yuto bends down and ducks with a forward roll and slips past Doberk's side. The blade wind caused by Darn Slave became a strong wind in the area and reached Marion, who was keeping her distance.
　The exorcist Marion, who has completed the training of a breaker, immediately noticed.

''This evilness........Yuto-san, that sword is a demonic sword!　Even a scratch can be fatal if you lose it!

　What Marion was feeling was also felt by Yuto. Hence, he chose to duck.
　Marion's face was strained, and she suddenly became worried about Yuto's health.
　However, despite Marion's concern, Yuto didn't stop moving and set up a dobelk. Yuto doesn't stop, and continues to move.
　Then he saw O'Sullivan, who had taken a deep hand in Marion's vision and was on one knee, and Julian, who was submerged in the ground, stand up with an indignant look on his face.

'Ouch!　Ow!　Kid!

"Dou........Du, Yuto!

　Spiritual power and demonic energy spewed out of their bodies, and then mingled with each other, blowing up into a single swell of power. That oppressive feeling shakes the body of Marion, a young, rank A ability holder as determined by the agency, and a terrifying aura that seems to blow away the will to fight itself.
　Right now, three people with abilities that transcend common sense are simultaneously closing in on Yuto.
　At this time, Marion, who is supposed to be always calm, turns pale, extremely impatient, and trembles all over her body.
　The half-demons' abilities, who showed a frenzied look of madness in an attempt to take away Yuto's life, started to run.
　Marion unintentionally raised a voice that seemed to fray at the situation where the two superhumans were going to attack Yuto, who was fighting to the death with the demon sword-wielding Doberk, while releasing a crazy killing spirit.

''Yuto-san!　Run!

　Marion deploys a stalling jutsu in an attempt to follow up on Yuto, but her speed-only jutsu is waved away to no avail by the angry, super-class assailant. They are targeting only Yuto, as if he is a small entity that no longer needs to care about Marion.
　Yuto is in danger. If this is the case, he will surely be killed.
　Marion thinks about that on the spur of the moment.
　She knows how strong Yuto is. Until now, Yuto has fended off difficult enemies by working beyond the imagination.
　But now, the enemy in front of him is not very good, but it doesn't look like a wall that can be overcome. And moreover, each and every one of them is an existence that exceeds the S rank set by the agency.
　

(Why would you put yourself in the most dangerous place to that extent, Yuto-san?　(Even though this enemy this time around doesn't require you to take on everything.

　Marion's eyes welled up, and while she thought about it, she really knew the answer to that question.
　It must be........for the sake of her friends.
　Participating in the Grand Festival is for Mizuho........but right now, he's not only fighting for that, he's also fighting for everyone, including Marion, Meira and the others.
　

''I won't let you go!　I won't let you go!　I won't let you go to Yuto-san!

　Marion's composure disappeared, and she crazily generated as much of a defensive barrier as she could create between Yuto and Julian and the others. However, that barrier created by impatience and fear was of poor quality for the spiritual power it consumed and lacked the usual solidity and holiness.
　Because of this, they were easily broken through one after another.
　As the numerous holy shields were broken through, a certain past.......that had been tucked away in the back of Marion's memory.................appeared in her mind, depriving Marion's eyes of normal light and exhausting her mind and nerves.

(Stop!)　At this rate, you will disappear!　(Just like your father!)

　The face of her late father floated in Marion's mind.
　The gentle father who fought alongside his mother and ended up becoming her shield.
　Marion, who was only nine years old, witnessed her father's last moments.
　It was a fierce battle.
　When her father died, she was surrounded by multiple powerful demons, just like Yuto is now.
　His father had worked with his mother to protect himself while drawing many of his enemies into himself, fighting a long, last-minute battle.
　

''Ahhh........Yuto-san, run away.......!　Yuto, it's all right, no matter how much you want to, Yuto, it's impossible to have three of these enemies at the same time!　I'm going to die!

　Marion raises a squeezing voice and turns her scowling eyes to Yuto. Even at times like this, only the mighty power of the enemies' spiritual and demonic power pierces one's skin.

(I've never known such a mixture of spiritual and bewitching power, I've never known such a mixture of spiritual and bewitching power!　(It's too powerful for me to measure!)

　Even Marion, who is keeping her distance, feels that way. How much pressure is coming on Yuto, who is dealing with these three people up close and personal?
　Marion would have broken her knees on the spot when her enemy transformed into this form if she hadn't had the experience of facing the legendary immortal vampire in the rookie test. It was only with the experience of facing an enemy stronger than him that he managed to stand on the spot.
　Marion's knees laughed, not at the fear of the enemy, but at the fear of loss, that she might lose someone she cared about.
　Yuto gives a stern look to Marion, who is just desperately trying to build a defensive wall anyway. Marion notices Yuto's gaze, but she doesn't know what Yuto is trying to say. No, it doesn't matter, if he doesn't cover for Yuto now, he'll be in trouble. She can't lose Yuto, she can't imagine losing him. So Marion single-mindedly disrupts the weak holy shield of light.
　Now, despite the fact that Yuto must be aware of the two superhumans coming towards him, he is fighting more than equal to Doberk without changing his expression.
　Doberk was clearly outnumbered before Yuto's tremendous sword strike.

''Tch!　What a move you're making, boy!

　Rather than waning, Yuto's battle spirit was enriched and sharpened, and his movements accelerated further. It was as if he knew everything he needed to do to survive, he was completely unblinking, and he radiated the spirit of a war god without the slightest trace of fear.
　
　To Marion, it looks like Yuto is only struggling.
　It only looks like Yuto's life is being cut down.
　 Yuto sends a glance at Marion as if to tell her something.
　However, Marion is unable to receive it. Marion devotes all her energy to restraining Julian and O'Sullivan, who are trying to get close to Yuto, saying that she doesn't care if her spiritual power is exhausted.
　However, betraying Marion's wishes, Julian and O'Sullivan finally tried to get into a position where they could attack Yuto.

''........!

　Marion's face distorts with tears in her eyes.
　If this goes on, Yuto........the most important person in his life will die.
　I'm not afraid to fight. I don't mind getting hurt myself.
　But I'm afraid of losing Yuto, and I'm scared......I can't help it.
　Finally, a desperate resolve appears on Marion's face, and she steps forward to throw herself into the fierce battlefield shown by the high-ranking abilities.
　You don't know how useful you will be in that place.
　No, I do know.
　I'm sure I won't be of much use.
　But the images of the past, which have invaded the deepest parts of Marion's mind, impulsively push Marion forward as she overlaps with Yuto again. If the situation arises, he can be a shield for Yuto himself.

(.........I'd rather die than lose it. As long as Yuto-san lives........................good!

　It was then ... the wind rustled in Marion's ear.
　This seemingly controlled breeze was familiar to me. It's a high-security level communication wind that the spirit users use to communicate with each other. You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. She hoped that Shitenji might have some kind of plan.
　But what came through the wind was the voice of an unexpected person.
